3. Autodesk Quantity Takeoff
Verson 2009
Purpose:
Autodesk® Quantity Takeoff software enables cost estimators to gather design data, high-quality images, and precise information from intelligent design applications such as AutoCAD®, Revit® Architecture, and AutoCAD® Civil 3D®, as well as from “nonintelligent” CAD data and image formats.
With Quantity Takeoff, estimators can leverage property data to automatically or manually measure, count, and price walls, doors, windows, and other building objects. The results can then be printed, exported to Microsoft® Excel®, or published to Autodesk® DWF™. Autodesk Quantity Takeoff supports the smoothest workflow, from design to cost estimation.
